information SERVICE DETAILS

We strive to be an All-age worshipping community, with monthly All-age Worship and regular children's activities. We welcome many visitors each week, both from Edinburgh and from around the world.

All are welcome to meeting for worship:

- Sunday 9:30am: Online, every Sunday for 45 minutes. Please contact us for the Zoom link.

- Sunday 11:00am: "Blended" Meeting for Worship every Sunday for 1 hour. On the 1st Sunday of every month, this is All-age worship, and lasts for 45 minutes.

Every Sunday some worship in the Meeting House and some worship from home, via a Zoom call connected to the Meeting House.

If you'd like to worship in the Meeting House, there's now no booking required, but please check our Covid guidance before attending.

As well as All-age worship on the 1st Sunday, we have sessions for children and young people on the 3rd and (where there is one) the 5th Sundays of the month.

Our home...

We meet in the Quaker Meeting House, 7 Victoria Terrace in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. This fine building was built in 1865 and purchased by the South East Scotland Area Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1987, and has been made fully wheelchair-accessible.

The building is open and staffed throughout the week. Please feel free to call in to learn more about Quakerism, or just to have a period of peace and quiet reflection over a cup of coffee or tea in the entrance foyer.

Meetings for worship are held in the large room at the top of the building; below this is a hall for social events, together with a library and a kitchen. The library is open on Sundays and may be consulted during the week by arrangement.

Wheelchair access to the Meeting House is from George IV Bridge along Victoria Terrace. There is also access from the Upper Bow from the Lawnmarket or from the steps up from Victoria Street.

Metered parking is nearby (free on Sundays) in Johnston Terrace, Victoria Street and Grassmarket.

Lothian buses 23, 27, 41, 42, and 67 pass nearby.
